LIVE NOW FESTIVAL 2023: CREATING LIVE PERFORMANCE ON WHATSAPP – A WORKSHOP WITH LIMBIK THEATRE

Online Zoom Workshop

With Ben Samuels and Gaël Le Cornec, Limbik Theatre

Focusing on their forthcoming project All The Water In The World this workshop will explore strategies and approaches to creating live performance on digital platforms such as WhatsApp. Is it possible to translate the immediacy of the stage into digital space? How can performing artists maintain a sense of live-ness and presence? Does any of this actually matter? 
 
Join Ben and Gaël as they animate how they confronted these questions and others, as they unpack the possibilities of WhatsApp and using your phone as a digital stage. 

Limited capacity.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS:

Ben Samuels & Gaël Le Cornec, Limbik Theatre

Limbik makes new theatre and live experiences in physical and digital space. Where the epic becomes intimate. And vice versa. The company’s genre-defying work extends from visual storytelling and physical theatre, to interactive fiction and immersive audio, and celebrates ensemble, collaboration, and internationalism.

ABOUT THE LIVE NOW COMMISSION

All the Water in the World – a play on WhatsApp from Limbik Theatre

Giselle, alone in a room, listens to the sounds around her. They remind her of a home on the other side of the ocean.

She wants to share them with you. From her phone, she wants to reach out to you, a total stranger, somewhere far away.

All the Water in the World is a quirky, intimate, one-to-one performance that unfolds on WhatsApp. Using a combination of live calls, messaging, and 3D spatial audio, it’s an experience that invites you to listen and connect in a (perhaps) unusual way.
